when you invite them in for some Promise Land chocolate milk and you try to convert them to the Goddess.

Apparently they are the only ones to convert people.

Mom's sure cure for JWs was to keep a stack of "Christianity Today" and "Christian Herald" magazines by the door. "

We'd be glad to trade you one of ours for one of yours"

Scared 'em away as well as a loaded 12 gauge pointed at the face would have.

I always liked this one...

"Hey, my dad is a baptist minister... let me get him!"

Keep a copy of "Mormons Answered Verse by Verse", by Reed & Farkas on your bookshelf.

It's designed to assist when the bicycle boys come to the door -- it has a listing of the Old Testament and New Testament verses they usually use to prove that they're a mainstream Christian religion, based on the Bible, and a refutation of the way they interpret those verses (that's the defense.) Then it goes on offense, giving a listing of verses from the Book of Mormon that show the book to be self-inconsistent, and how it is also inconsistent with not only the Bible, but with other Mormon scripture (e.g., The Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine and Covenants.)

opie: why would a book disclaiming LDS beliefs bother Jehovah's Witnesses? Two different brand names!

Why do all of you feel so comfortable mocking Jehova's Witnesses? They are religious believers too. Aren't you relying on someone else to teach you about the Lord as well?

i think most people (should anyway) base their beliefs on what they read in the bible, not what their minister tells them. and not a book that some kook came up with in the 19th century. as for jehovah's witnesses, they have some kooky beliefs of their own.

I'm just upset they didn't finish their milk.

This is damn good milk and I wasted it on them

Sorry. Wrong post for the wrong thread. Please forgive my misdirection.

By the way ... we ignorant and backwards believers know how to spell Jehovah.

Mocking is fun and educational.

JWs: "Don't you want to go to Heaven?"

13-0: "Not if I have to spend eternity with a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses."

I don't, I actually believe that there is a possibility of a higher being.

Yeah! You found the typo! Want a cookie for pointing it out?

Back to the shadows for you.

I've never been comfortable when Christians say that other religions have "kooky" or really weird beliefs. There was a man who lived 2000 years ago who claimed to be the Savior of all mankind and equal with the ruler of the universe... and we believed him! I believe it, but not because it sounds very reasonable or normal.

the real issue is the sacrifice of my Chocolate milk to people who didn't appreciate it

Well, that's your own damn fault.

I was trying to be friendly

Good thing I didn't cast a spell on them

My question for JW's is why are they recruiting? Don't they believe only a certain number of people go to heaven? Do they want me bumping one of them out of line?

Yeah -- I never thought of that -- 144,000 is there claim.

Hehehe, JW's left pamplets on our gate to our ranch out in Mason county. The ranch is a long way from anywhere, not sure how they ended up there.

I pelt them with water balloons.

Or any other book that some kook came up with after the first century.

JW's have well over 144,000 members now. I think they changed that "theology" a long time ago.

PhiAggie: Are you sure you're taling about JWs? Maybe I'm wrong (obviously not a JW), but I don't think JW is based on a 19th century boook.

NOTE: If I'm wrong, please let me know.

EDIT: sorry, just notice that schmendeler made the orignal comment, and that it was already conceded to be on the wrong thread. Duh.

I have a stack of voter registration cards and when they come by, I always ask them to register to vote and to come to a rally. Then I would go with them to meeting (church). Never happens.
